Family Fun Night!!

Since the fridge is pretty much empty as we get ready to clear outta here, the four of us adventured out for one of our last nights out in Irvine. We ended up at The Spectrum, an outdoor mall, for dinner at The Yardhouse.  After dinner, we wandered down towards the new children's play area that was just finished up recently, but got sidetracked by the giant Ferris wheel. We figured, why not go for a ride?  We'd been past it plenty of times before, and if a last night in Irvine isn't a good enough excuse to hop on, what is?? So up and around we went, 3 times to be exact. And we even were witnesses to a proposal! (She said yes!). We did end up making it to the playground too, but the Ferris wheel was the only thing worth photographing...and the sunset...and a couple of kids enjoying themselves...and a couple of big kids having a good time too...

Arjen looking for the moon (much less impressive in the photo than in real life!)

Gus possibly looking for the moon too

Cheese! (later he told me at least five times "I had fun on the ferris wheel mom".  I'd say that was worth his admission price right there, but he was a free ride!)

Imagine you can actually see Andrew and Gus in the foreground...
